The NOD mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) continues to be an important tool for delineating the role of T-cell-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that enable this disease pathway. We show that insulin reactivity by a CD8+ T-cell clone known to induce T1D is characterised by weak T cell antigen receptor (TCR) binding to a relatively unstable peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC). The structure of the native 9-mer and 10-mer insulin epitopes demonstrated that peptide residues 7 and 8 form a prominent solvent exposed bulge that could potentially be the main focus of TCR binding. The C-terminus of the peptide governed pMHC stability. Unexpectedly, we further demonstrate a novel mode of flexible peptide presentation in which the MHC peptide-binding groove is able to 'open the back door' to accommodate extra C-terminal peptide residues.
